Overview
What we do for Cobb County homeowners
B&T Properties builds, repairs, replaces and restores decks, porches, rails and stairs. That covers a brand-new deck off the kitchen, a screened or covered porch, a rebuild of an old deck whose frame has worn out, new stairs and landings, and rail repairs that make a wobbly deck safe again. Breno, the owner, visits every home in person and gives a free written estimate before any work is scheduled.
Many calls start with a small symptom: a soft board, a loose rail, a stair that bounces or a stain that has faded. Sometimes the fix really is small. Other times the problem sits in the frame, at the ledger where the deck meets the house or at the base of a post. The visit is about finding out which one you have so you can make a clear decision.
Overview
How the land shapes a deck here
The area around Kennesaw Mountain brings hilly, sloped and tree-covered lots, especially in older neighborhoods on the west side, so decks often sit well above the ground. Taller decks need taller posts, solid footings, proper bracing and stairs that may need a landing partway down. On those lots the frame matters more than the boards, and a careful look underneath is part of every visit.
Elsewhere in the county the ground is gentler but the trees are bigger. Shade and leaf drop keep wood damp longer, which speeds up rot at board ends, post bases and the ledger. Neighborhoods such as Legacy Park, Ridenour and the streets around Pinetree Country Club each have their own mix of house ages and lot shapes, so two decks a mile apart can need very different work.

Overview
Decisions that come up on most projects
The first decision is usually repair or replace. If the frame is sound, new boards, rails or stairs can give an older deck many more seasons. If joists, beams or the ledger are soft, a full rebuild is often the safer and simpler path. The second decision is surface material: wood costs less up front and can be refinished, while composite needs less upkeep in shade.
The third decision is how much cover you want. A screened porch keeps out bugs, a covered deck keeps off rain and sun, and an open deck gives the most light. Each option affects the framing, so it helps to decide early. Breno walks through these trade-offs on site and puts the plan you choose into the written estimate.
Overview
Permits, HOAs and buffers depend on your address
Whether your deck goes through a city office or Cobb County depends on your exact address. Kennesaw, Acworth and unincorporated areas such as East Cobb are handled by different offices, each with its own steps. Call the office that covers your parcel and confirm what your project needs before you commit to a design.
Many neighborhoods along corridors like Barrett Parkway, Chastain Road and Bells Ferry Road have homeowners associations, and rules on design and materials vary from one community to the next. Lots near creeks or property lines can also be limited by stream or landscape buffers. Check with your association and the right local office, then share what you learn with us so the plan fits.
Overview
Areas we serve and how to start
In Cobb County we work in Kennesaw, Acworth and East Cobb, and we also serve nearby Woodstock along with homes in Cherokee, North Fulton and Cumming. Homes close to I-75 and Cobb Parkway are as easy for us to reach as the quieter streets farther out, and the process is the same everywhere.
To get started, send a text or use the request form with a short description and a few photos of your deck or porch. Breno will set up a visit, walk the site with you, check the boards, frame, rails and stairs, and follow up with a free written estimate that spells out what we would do and why.

Local notes
Around Kennesaw and Acworth and nearby
Kennesaw. Kennesaw's city code includes stream buffer requirements and landscape buffer standards, which can affect how close a deck can be to a creek or property line. We check those constraints before pricing. Communities in the area include Legacy Park, Ridenour, Pinetree Country Club, the Kennesaw Mountain area.
Acworth. Acworth is a Cobb County city on Lake Acworth, with a historic downtown a short drive from I-75. Streets range from older in-town blocks to larger subdivisions, so the decks we see vary as much as the houses do. Communities in the area include downtown Acworth, Lake Acworth.
East Cobb. East Cobb is a wooded suburban area with rolling hills and many tree-lined lots. That means shade, falling leaves and slopes, all of which shape how a deck is framed and how fast wood weathers. Communities in the area include Indian Hills, Chimney Springs, Sibley Forest.
Straight answers
Common questions
How does a hillside lot near Kennesaw Mountain change a deck project?
A steep lot usually means a taller deck with longer posts, bigger footings, bracing and a longer stair run, often with a landing. The frame does more work, so Breno looks closely at posts, beams and the connection to the house during the visit.
Who handles deck permits for a Cobb County address?
It depends on where your parcel sits. Addresses inside a city such as Kennesaw or Acworth go through that city, while unincorporated areas go through Cobb County. Call the office for your address and confirm what your project needs before you finalize a plan.
What deck and porch projects do Cobb County homeowners ask about most?
Common requests include rebuilding an aging deck whose frame has worn out, replacing worn boards and rails, adding a screened or covered porch, and replacing steep or bouncy stairs with safer ones and a landing.
Is it worth repairing an older deck or should I replace it?
If the frame and ledger are sound, a repair or new surface can be a good value. If joists, beams or posts are soft, replacement is usually safer. Breno checks the structure in person and explains which path makes sense for your deck.
